How We Make Money

New Zealand Finance is free to use. To keep it that way, we earn revenue through affiliate and referral partnerships. We think it’s important to be upfront about this, so you understand how the site is funded and can weigh our content accordingly.

How it works

When you click certain links on our site and take out a product or service with a provider, we may receive a commission or referral fee from that provider — at no extra cost to you. You don’t pay more for using our links than you would going to the provider directly.

We may also earn revenue from display advertising on the site.

Our commercial relationships

Some of the providers we feature, compare or link to are commercial partners, and some are not. You should assume that where we feature or prominently link to a provider, we may have a commercial relationship with them. Being transparent about this matters more to us than pretending otherwise.

What this means in practice:

  • We aim to give useful, accurate general information regardless of whether a provider is a partner.
  • Commercial partnerships can influence which products we feature and how prominently, so our site should be a starting point, not your only source.
  • We’re not a comprehensive comparison of every product in the market, and we don’t claim to be.

What we’re committed to

  • Accuracy. We take reasonable care to keep our information correct and up to date, and we welcome corrections — see our contact page if you spot an error.
  • General information, not advice. Nothing on the site is personalised financial advice. Always confirm current rates, fees and terms directly with the provider before making a decision, and consider advice from a licensed financial adviser. See our Financial Disclaimer.
  • Your control. We encourage you to compare multiple sources and go directly to providers to verify details and apply.

Affiliate links and your information

When you click an affiliate or referral link, information about your visit (such as the fact you came from our site) may be shared with the provider so any referral can be attributed. See our Privacy Policy for how this works.
